[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Glad to hear you like the video! It's the comment like yours that keeps us going bro!

[@hammocksponge3994]

Should get my SCHF9 this Friday. My next knife purchase will be the BK-7. Thanks for the superb review.

[@Trailslayer]

Hey man, I don't normally EVER watch videos like this. However the way you run down specifications and explain exactly why it is built the way it has been built, and what the benefit of that specific build rocks. I left this video feeling educated and well informed and I appreciate it

[@bematthews]

Ordered mine from Amazon, it got here yesterday and I am definitely pleased. Thanks for the review!

[@Wavester64]

Good Video. The sharpener that you put out intially, which model is that? Also you mentioned mineral oil. Assuming you meant food-grade - do you recommend any, or are they all the same?

[@jankidsmackerjungle7719]

The sharpener is a sog sharpener combo fire starter

[@protoyz7405]

mora for me pls... any day of the week. does schrade and gerber pay u a lot? if yes, tell them i could do the same for them easily for a jungle environment!

[@smeagolthebulldog]

Really like your reviews, especially all the links and notes in the description. Very informative and professional.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks for the suggestions. We are always trying to improve. Have a great day! ~David

[@83JustSomeGuy]

I'm in the market for a knife similar to this. I got excited about this particular one and found out it's made in China... Back to the drawing board.

[@ChristusVincit2k]

Everything is made in China these days bro... I feel your pain.

[@derekpoosbug]

T.K. Archibald get a becker or a esee very good but expensive

[@83JustSomeGuy]

Thanks for the rec LilFluffBall LilFullBall ! I actually ended up getting an Ontario 499. I like it a lot so far!

[@83JustSomeGuy]

In my experience, the majority of products I have purchased that have been absolute junk were manufactured in China. That is - I have paid out of pocket and the item broke easily due to corners cut or what have you. Now is that in regard to ALL things made from China? Certainly not. This knife may be a fine piece of craftsmanship, but unless I can physically hold it in my hand to see that, I would just rather avoid the risk. Again, I'm speaking from personal experience though. Your own mileage may not exemplify as such and that's great. My comment seems like an odd thing to seemingly get offended by...it was definitely not my intention.

[@collinz5923]

T.K. Archibald the stuff you bought might came here indirectly, which means that might be the seller get their merchandise from a retailer in china instead of coming out of the factory and come straight here

[@raymonmata]

I have a request. Could you make a video on how to survive being attacked by a bear with only a knife to defend yourself. Like if you are able to reach your knife and the bear hasn't already ripped you to shreds. Also the vital areas of a bear. Where you should strike if you have the chance. I'm not planning to fight a bear. But if I encounter one I would like to be able to live through it. I know about wearing bells while hiking and bear spray. I also own a gun. But I'm talking about worst case scenario . If a video like this already exist. can someone give me the link. Thank you.

[@majorlifts]

Raymond Mata according to a guide I purchased a 9" blade bone handled knife off of explained to me very kindly that your chances of surviving a bear attack with just a knife are zero. A bear doesnt die like a human, as soon as we bleed we stop and understand what is happening, a bear does not it just continues to kill until its heart stops or it bleeds out which would be a long time before you even had a chance to do any damage and it would just kill you

[@nicholasbrookins6906]

In Alaska, the bear threat is real and people die. They Glock 21 I had would only be effective if I where to get lucky enough to hit the bear in the eye socket and have the projectile enter the brain cavity. Which is virtually impossible if they are moving. If you have seen the movie with Leo Dicaprio and how the bear attacks, that is pretty accurate. Other than him surviving. This small grizzly bear I saw in Denali park (450 lbs) was able to dig through the tundra in two scoops to get to these little white potatoes (Sluice I think they are called). The bear went through the tundra (frozen ground that shovels can't penetrate) like it was sand at the beach. They can run up to 35 miles per hour. So a knife attack would have to severe its carotid to have any chance of eventually killing it. But that would be after you are dead. Please not go into the woods. Just stay in the city.

[@zaks3911]

How would he know how to kill a bear lmao, I've never heard of a salesman killing a bear before

[@lucasodaniel6018]

Im down to hunt bears with pocket knives, make a video!

[@williamn.goodman6489]

In the early 1800s, California pioneers would tie a grizzly bear by the rear legs to a pole in a corral. Then they would release a long horn steer in to the corral. These animals are deadly enemies and fight to the death. The bears generally swatted the steer on the neck killing it instantly. Occasionally the steer would stab the bear to death. Reminds me of the Romans releasing prisoners into the Colosseum to fight lions.

[@outbackeddie]

Excellent review. One of the best and most thorough reviews I have seen in a while. The close up pictures were excellent and really helped show off the individual characteristics of the knife. It looks like I will be adding another knife to my ever expanding collection.

[@plwcdi]

Your by far the best at explaining survival stuff on KZbin.

[@irwintorres220]

Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure all Schrade knives are made in China. They were bought out some years ago by I believe Taylor & Co. Taylor & Co. also make Smith & Wesson and Colt knives which are made in China. I am not saying that all Chinese stuff is garbage but China is something I don't want etched onto my knife blade. Just my opinion. To each his own.

[@elkhunter8664]

My opinion as well. On general principal I vowed years ago no Chinese knives. I did break my vow once because a nephew wanted this type knife and he is pretty young. Bought basically this same knife at Big 5 for $14, some made up brand. I would not be surprised if the schrades came out of the same factory. That is the problem with outsourcing and brand names.

[@stealthysteve1]

I will give you a hell yeah on that one.Those commi sum bithces

[@UnlimitedGaming99]

The sheath is made in China, the knife itself is made in Taiwan

[@vasvaskel8221]

Yeah... The last US Schrade factory closed in 2004, when Taylor Brands bought them out. I'm lucky to still have a few "pre-Taylor" Schrades! I ordered a SCHF9N, and am waiting on its arrival. The "9N" differs from the "9" in 2 main ways. The "9N" is made from 8Cr13MoV High Carbon *Stainless Steel*... and the blade is is Hollow-Ground vs Sabre-Ground(most of you will know what that means)...

[@boneyfreak9197]

When the chips are down or society has collapsed or face to face with a pissed off boar or bear...go for that Chinese steel...LOL. After being an importer for 18 years, you get what you paid for.

[@SpartacusColo]

Impressive review. Thanks! Very thorough without being too long and I like the alternate choices at the end.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Excellent! Glad you are enjoying it. I love mine too... Thanks for the encouragement also. Much appreciated! Take care! ~David

[@instabladecreditcardknife5499]

Stainless steel rocks

[@howtobasic6638]

+Instablade Credit Card Knife Not in my opinion.

[@getmovies2855]

+HowToBasic Huh just to comment something.

[@rileyreynolds9142]

+Instablade Credit Card Knife Stainless steel does rock. In fact it kicks ass.

[@jonslife3533]

Instablade Credit Card Knife provided its a good stainless , it can be very excellent

[@TeamMCSRacing]

the wife bought me this knife, its big and bulky, its holds a edge ok and the sheath is cheap junk ... the schrade has left me totally unimpressed and a bit salty.

[@TeamMCSRacing]

i do expect the elastic on the pouch to last longer than a week with no use .......

[@Jerry-uc1pn]

TeamMCSRacing There seem to be alot of inconsistencies among users regarding manufacturing quality of the blade and pouch. Im not saying i dont believe you, but my pouch has lasted months with no problem

[@TeamMCSRacing]

the knife its self is good, a bit big but the blade seems fine ... i'm most likely going to have a kydex sheath made.

[@TeamMCSRacing]

***** i contacted customer service to buy another sheath, they wanted to send one out free of charge instead ... can't get better than that !!

[@vasvaskel8221]

TeamMCSRacing If you want a Kydex sheath, get one from a quality craftsman. Recurve blades are tricky. Another survival channel recently reviewed a Kydex crafter's SCHF9 sheath. Shouldn't be hard to find...

[@allemander]

Just got my SCHF9 for $35 shipped. What a beast of a knife with a deluxe and versatile sheath! Very impressed!

[@poptartsstuff]

Yours are by far the absolute best reviews out there. I always know where to go to find a product I can trust. Thanks!

wow thanks

[@mandograssSLE]

Great review and to the point,kept me glued to hear every word.Good price with all the value.

[@rassd71]

GREAT review, in depth, detailed and with REAL value. THANK You for not making it about what is 'cool' or 'tactical', but what really works and is needed in a REAL world. Will definitely check out more of your vids and your sight for more gear reviews & recommendations!

[@davidbarclay3651]

I love your reviews. Very honest and thorough. Thanks David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Glad you liked it! ~ David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Good point.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks Ross. Good comment!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Good comments. Good thoughts! Thank you! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Excellent! Thanks for your comments! ~David

[@Laketomp]

I subscribed because of your description box. The information you provided is great. Very responsible and considerate of you. Thanks :-)

[@joeykong94]

your welcome ! and its good that u respond to 99% of the comments and thanks hope you have a good day to David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Man, I really appreciate the encouragement - especially today! Thanks! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

We just might. Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned bro!

[@nfresh6]

Got linked here from a forum discussing good survival knives. I really like the video and a few of your others I've watched now including the one reviewing the LMF II. I love my LMF II. I just ordered this knife (Schrade Extreme Survival SCHF9) and I'm looking forward to putting it to the test! I like your reviews! Keep on keeping on!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

You rock dude! Welcome aboard! Thanks for the comment. I'll work some more terminology in for the future. REALLY appreciate the help and suggestions! Have a great day! ~David

[@PINOYMIGO]

I've been looking for a knife exactly like this. Love the sheath! Love how the thumb hole is good for a fire starter. Bought this as soon as I could find it at my local hardware store. Thanks for the great review!!!

[@bob2sticks]

very clear and concise review, good job!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Glad you enjoyed it! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Agreed!

[@maccmoses]

I love mine,the small compartment in the front is perfect for some hooks and weights,I also wrapped a ton of fishing line beneath the twine holder.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks for the comment... I have actually been most impressed with the vast majority of Schrade knives lately. Take care! ~David

[@semco72057]

I have one of their knives which I have on my utility belt and it is a great knife. After receiving mine I was very impressed and soon replaced the German knife which I had on my belt. The sheath is good enough for what I will use it for and should last for years.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks... I'll try and catch up with CRKT soon...

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Awesome! And thanks for the encouragement! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks for the question. Cool Steel has some great knives and some cheap knives as do most manufacturers. Many of their martial arts products are made of cheaper steel. Generally their survival knives are fine. Their knives made of AUS 8 or AUS 8A are generally very good. Hope this helps. ~David

[@MasterK9Trainer]

This is the most amazing, professional and captivating video review of a product I have ever seen. I have a few favorites and now I'm adding you to my list.

[@TheMontanaBushcraft]

I have to say thank you very much. Because of this video I decided to buy one a month ago and sense I have bought it, I have taken it everywhere on my hikes and camp outs. Its the one knife I use for everything. Thank you!

[@mikemotes9610]

WOW!! I just heard about this knife and I am so impressed. Going to order one. I love this channel.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Agreed! Thanks man! ~ David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Indeed!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks for the comment. Yes... Schrade is having a hard time keeping up with demand... I think since this review went out. For solar chargers... I have them on my list... the one I like the most so far is the Powertraveller Power Monkey Extreme 9000mAh Solar Charger. Let me know what you think. ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Good point. Thanks! ~David

[@ralphxj97]

I have been searching around for a great knife to ad to my bug out bag/emergency bags for quite some time now and I think I just for the right knife I am looking for. Awesome thorough review!!!

[@johnrackley1903]

Great Vid lots of good info here thanks for the review

[@usmcshoey1]

Good review and a great knife. I have a couple Schrade knifes, very pleased with them.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

My pleasure bro! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

They are both different. The Schrade is better for bushcraft and survival tasks like that. The LMF II is a bit more diverse in it's uses. I actually use the LMF II more. It's the one that is usually in my bag when I go out into the sticks.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks buddy!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks Rodrigo. Welcome aboard! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Hi Ian. Wow!!! Thank you for the encouragement bro. Happy New Year to you also! ~David

[@MusicWeaponsFood]

Great vid!! I am really excited about this knife and am probably going to buy one. Fits my style and my price range.

[@ramblinross4039]

Very, very well-done video. Great camera. Schrade has always made some great knives.

[@danielstoner7807]

Thanks for the review - these look great.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks man!

[@danofiremano]

Thanks again David, I really enjoy your videos!I love my ESEE knives (#5 & an Izula), but this blade has found it's place in my hunting pack, I have put it through a few paces and it has held up well. I'm confident that it will serve me foe a long time. The sheath is O.K. too. I removed the "Hook & loop" from the pouch. I felt the buckle was good enough to hold in my Altoids kit, w/ a CS Style, ferro-rod and two types of tinder. The curved blade is nice too. I recommend it for anyone on a budget or whoever wants to save some money! Godspeed, danofiremano

[@bushcraft2012]

Great knife...at a great price. I bought this knife about a year ago and I have put it through its paces a few times out in the woods. Great for light to medium chopping and batoning. I was able to make some great fuzz sticks. Three stitches later...I can attest to blade sharpness. Worth every penny!

[@Xxnate500]

thank you so much for the review i now have the best knife i have ever had in my hand i have bough almost every knife you have reviewed ,your the best person to review a knife

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks man. Welcome aboard! ~David

[@BradleyBarks]

could this be the ultimate review? amazing stuff, David!

[@joakimalkestrand4861]

Thanks man really enjoyed the video. It's definitely going to be my next knive.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Wow! Thanks for the encouragement! ~David

[@TheTabellarius]

Good to finally see a professionally done clip great knife

[@BrandonColonel]

The way the handle flares out at the top is called a recurve design. In folding knives, it allows you to pack a larger blade into a smaller cutting surface. It also makes the blade a little bit better at slicing motions just due to the geometry of the blade overall. In fixed blades like this one, recurves come in handy for about the same reasons. But the added bonus is that they also have more heft at the top of the blade making them better chopping tools. You just proved its chopping design.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Great information!!! Thank you! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

My pleasure. Take care. ~David

[@jd1408]

Great video! Keep it up, man!

[@timthomas924]

[@davidchapman6091]

I just got this knife and I must say it is a great knife. Thanks for the review.

[@walterric]

That was a great review (I just subscribed), thank you.

[@powpow03]

Loved your review! Thanks

[@alaskankare]

I finally was able to pick up my SCHF9. I've been wanting one ever since I saw your review. Thanks for the info and tests you showed, David! I even got 2! Now my hubby can never ask to borrow mine! It was even more impressive in person. Completely in love with the sheath. The handle is a little large for my hand, but I can steal easily grip it, and it will work perfectly for all the monster tasks, like chopping and spliting that I use camp knives for. Thanks again

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Excellent!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks for the comment! ~ David

[@liamhicks5315]

very glad you got over your cold my freind has a schrade i reccamend them

[@maxglaves3452]

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Good info. Good comment! Thanks! ~David

[@HikeordieTV]

Another great review. Thanks David.

[@luisgoldo276]

in my shopping list for my next camping trip!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Good question. We use our tree firewood, shelter, props for the peach trees etc... Trees are a renewable resource... And with proper management provide a sustainable supply for us. Nothing goes to waste here... We heat with passive solar (no heat running on sunny days) and with wood 100% every other day. I am a tree hugger... haa... haa... and I love my trees and take care of my forest and it takes care of me. Thanks man! ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks bro!

[@jamiecox5430]

I have owned and have used this knife since it has hit the market. It’s indestructible! I’ve used it for bush craft and everything else and it’s freaking awesome! It’s worth way more than it costs.
